Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a peptide with binding affinity for factor VIII, a carrier material to which the peptide according to the invention is bound, a diagnostic agent containing the peptide according to the invention, use of the peptide for labeling, identification or purification of factor VIII and a method for producing the invention Peptide synthesized in a liquid or solid phase system.
  • Affinity chromatography (Yannis Chonis; Process Affinity Chromatography, in Separation Processes in Biotechnology, Ed. JA Asenjo, pages 401 to 494, Marcel Dekker, New.) Is a method that is well established in the prior art for the purification of particularly complex structures such as proteins York 1990; SR Narayanon, Preparative affinity chromatography of proteins, J. Chromatogr. A, 658 (1994) 237 to 258).
  • Huang, Ping Y. et al. describe in "Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry", Vol. 4, No. 5, pp. 699 to 708, 1996 the use of peptides which can be used for the affinity purification of von Willebrand factor.
  • the von Willebrand factor is a component in the blood plasma and plays an important role in the stabilization of factor VIII.
  • Factor VIII itself is also a valuable plasma component, which is of particular therapeutic interest, namely for eliminating disorders of the blood coagulation cascade, in which factor VIII plays an important role.
  • the preparation of factor VIII from blood plasma continues to play an important role.
  • Numerous methods for the purification of factor VIII by means of chromatographic methods are known.
  • Methods of immunoaffinity chromatography are also used, in which antibodies against factor VIII are immobilized on a support and factor VIII-containing samples are brought into contact with this support material, so that factor VIII can be isolated from the samples in question by immunoaffinity reactions.
  • a disadvantage of the latter method is in particular that the antibodies are relatively large molecules which occupy a large part of the surface of the carrier material and thus result in a capacity limitation.
  • contamination can occur through bleeding of the antibodies from the separation column.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a material with which a cleaning of factor VIII is facilitated.
  • the peptides according to the invention have the structure
  • R 1 NH 2 or a peptide, preferably having no more than 20 amino acid units
  • R 2 COOH or a peptide
  • X an at least tripeptide, preferably hepta- to dodecapeptide, which has an affinity bond with factor VIII.
  • R 1 thus indicates the N-terminal end of a peptide represented by structural element X
  • R 2 indicates the carboxyl end of a peptide defined by X.
  • the structural elements also refer to the salts in this regard and derivatives such as N-modified derivatives or carboxy-terminally modified derivatives.
  • amino acids which can be used to form the peptide according to the invention include both the naturally occurring amino acids and non-proteinogenic amino acids. These are regularly a-amino acids. Possible structural variants of the amino acids are those which have modifications in the side chain, cyclic peptides, branched or mixotropic peptides.
  • the structural element X has at least three amino acids which are linked by peptides, the structural element X is preferably a hepta, octa or nonapeptide, preferably an octape peptide to dodecapeptide, which is distinguished by binding to factor VIII.
  • the structural element X is preferably a hepta, octa or nonapeptide, preferably an octape peptide to dodecapeptide, which is distinguished by binding to factor VIII.
  • Particularly preferred are the octapeptides, which are identified in the sequence listing with the sequence identification numbers Seq. ID. No. 1 to Seq. ID. No. 94 are explicitly mentioned.
  • the particularly preferred octapeptides of the structure shown in Seq. ID. No. 1 to 94 are able to bind factor VIII specifically.
  • the latter peptides bind to human or recombinant factor VIII.
  • the last named peptides have a striking affinity for both recombinant factor VIII and factor VIII, which was produced from plasma.
  • the octapeptides with the Seq. Id. No. 61, 66, 71, 72, 76, 77, 78, 81 to 84, 89 and 90 are characterized in isolation by binding to pdFVIII (factor VIII from plasma).
  • the peptide binds with the Seq. Id. No. 61 no recombinant factor VIII.
  • the octapeptides with the Seq. Id. No. 56 to 58, 66, 68, 71, 72, 76 to 78, 81 to 84, 87 to 90 bind recombinant factor VIII, the octapeptides having the Seq. Id. No.
  • 66, 71, 72, 76 to 78, 81 to 84 and 89 and 90 also bind factor VIII isolated from plasma. According to the invention, particular preference is given to the octapeptides with the Seq. Id. No. 66, 72, 78, 84, 89 and 90.
  • the peptides with the Seq. Id. No. 66 and 90 to 94 are particularly suitable for the affinity chromatography of rFVIII (recombinant factor VIII) and the peptides 66, 72 and 91 to 94 for the affinity chromatography of pdFVIII.
  • these peptides can also be used to produce a carrier material according to the invention.
  • This carrier material has a surface with attached peptides according to the invention and is the subject of claims 8 to 9.
  • the peptides according to the invention are preferably chemically bound to the surface of the carrier material according to the invention.
  • Chemical bonding means both covalent and ionic, hydrophobic and / or complex interactions.
  • the carrier material preferably consists of inorganic or organic, in particular polymeric material.
  • the polymeric materials which are generally usable per se in the chromatography of biopolymers can be used.
  • the peptides according to the invention are preferably bound to the surface of the carrier material by spacers (arms). These spacers are known to the person skilled in the art. The spacers are preferably such that they do not interfere with the affinity binding between factor VIII and the peptides in the chromatographic separation process.
  • Spacers usually consist of linear, low-molecular hydrocarbon chains which are equipped with functional groups at both ends.
  • a summary of the state of the art can be found at G.T. Hermanson, A.K .. Mallia and P.K. Smith; Immobilized Affinity Ligand Techniques, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, New York, Boston, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto 1992.
  • One end is bound to a solid support while the other end is used to bind the peptide ligand.
  • the hydrocarbon chains can also be modified.
  • DADPA diaminodipropylamine
  • succinic acid succinic acid (as anhydride)
  • 6-aminocaproic acid 1, 3-diamino-2-propanol
  • 1, 6-diaminohexane DH
  • ethylenediamine EDA
  • amino acids, peptides, sugars and other polyols can also act as spacers.
  • Iminodiacetic acid or lysine can also be used as a spacer.
  • lysine is bound to a support as Fmoc-Lys (Fmoc) -OH or Fmoc- (Lys) - (Boc) -OH.
  • Fmoc Fmoc-Lys
  • Lis Fmoc- (Lys) - (Boc) -OH.
  • protective groups lysine with carboxyl terminus is bound to the support.
  • Selective cleavage of the protective groups gives free amino groups to which at least one peptide can be bound.
  • the amino groups of the lysine can also be blocked by other protective groups.
  • polymers with a hydrophilic surface for example so-called tentacle materials, can be used as chromatographic supports.
  • the immobilization of the peptides according to the invention on compact porous disks and / or membranes, each preferably with a hydrophilic surface, is also advantageous.
  • Corresponding devices are described in WO-A-96/06158. Due to the fact that the peptides according to the invention interact with factor VIII, the peptide compounds according to the invention are suitable as diagnostic agents for factor VIII.
  • the diagnostic agent according to the invention therefore contains at least one peptide according to the invention, or a carrier material according to the invention, to which at least one peptide according to the invention is bound, and optionally auxiliaries.
  • the peptide according to the invention is marked to indicate that a peptide according to the invention has reacted with factor VIII.
  • a radioactive label for example, or a label using fluorescent ligands, the avidin / streptavidin system or enzymes which can cause color reactions, as are generally known in the ELISA technique, can serve as the label.
  • the peptides according to the invention are suitable for labeling, identifying or purifying factor VIII.

The affinity carriers were then washed with PBS buffer pH 7.0 until the UV signal (280 nm) reached the baseline again. The bound material was eluted with 0.1 M glycine pH 3.0. The collected fractions were analyzed using SDS-Page under reducing conditions and Western blot. In this way, peptides and the ßAla-ßAla blank were examined for their ability to bind factor VIII from the octavi preparation.
  • Binding was VIII of recombinant factor using Kogena- te ® (Bayer) studied. 400 ⁇ l of the preparation (200 units) were diluted with 1,400 ⁇ l of distilled water and then applied to the affinity support at a flow rate of 0.1 ml / min. The washing was again carried out with PBS, pH 7.0 and the subsequent elution with 0.1 M glycine, pH 3.0. The fractions were analyzed using SDS-Page under reducing conditions and Western blot.
